Owing to recent misdemeanor on the
part of some of the young men of our
community, | am constrained, through
pure sympathy for the offenders, to
inquire if the parents who vote for or
in any way sanction the continuance
of the noted "pillars" of this city, are
not justly "redping what they have
sown!" Have not the majority of the
voters of this community in their
wisdom y established and urged the
necessity of just such places, wherein
the disgraceful scenes of Oct. Sth were
enactedl
can forgive the boys, however much
may despise their Offense, but the
parents and friends who sanction the
traffic in intoxicantS and thus are
responsible for the disgrace brought
to their doors, ought not to be forgiven
by God or man, until, by their help,
better, cleaner surroundings are pro-
vided for our young men.
believe our boys are capable of
better things and nobler lives than
some of them have recently eVinced.
But can we expect other than that we
are receiving at their hands under the
existing circumstances
What, may l ask, can we as mothers
hope for, when our only privilege ~
is in pleading, and alas, too often, our
pleading is in vain!
was recently told by one mother
that her boy, IL years of age, was in-
duced by man of mature years to
throw firecrackers last Fourth at the
window of back room over saloon,
where lodged young woman. Sure
iy, he was an honorable man." Again
he induced other small boys to aid in
distributing rubbish, and generally
disfiguring the streets-"all for fun"
Such exploits only prove to us that
if inducements of lawless character
are to be held out to our little boys, by
men of mature years, thus initiating
them '.in ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain," that the citizens
of this community cannot afford to sit
with folded arms and look serious only,
shake our heads and Uish that some
thing might be done. Something can
and must be done; but done only by
united, vigorous action.
So long as We permit the licensed
saloon to hold the balance of power in
our midst, just so long may we expect
to see our boys subject to its evils.
The "little feet" if led in the by
paths of lawlessness, will, sooner or
later it may be, bring up at these dens
in spite of the best 'home influence. "
1t may be your boy, it may be mine;
who knowsi Who will help US ''save
the boyi"
Mothers, fathers, hear my plea,
Let your pleadings pierce the sky,
Pray and work most earnestly,
Let US save our boys or die"
A MOTHER.

EtONOMY IN MN AND WOMAN.

Did you ever notice the difference, asks
The Toledo Blade, in the economy of the
man and woman? That of the
former ZONES in spasms, severe while they
last and generally spending themselves
upon some really trivial matter which
counts next to nothing in the list of their
expenditures. Their cessation is usually
marked by some costly purchase, excur-
sion or indulgence that consumes ten times
the amount saved. The woman, On the
contrary, looks out for the little odds and
ends in everyday life as she goes along,
things which the masculine in his prosper
GUS feeling moments regards Us triies not
worth counting. Perhaps the difference
has been induced by the fact that she does
not hold the purse strings, and is held ac-
countable for the way in which the cash
handed to her holds out. She does not
have days Of feeling rich, and throwing her
money around lavishly, for she knows that
ny unusal fit of generosity on the part of
the cashier is very likely to be followed by
/, time of repentance and reckoning.

When DR.. Chalmers became minister to
Kilmany, in The north of Fife, he used TO
get his supplies from Anstruther. On one
occasion-so the story runs-he sent o
written order for a sack of corn to q Mr.
Thomson there. The corn never came,
and Chalmers was much annoyed. Next
time he was in Anstruther he called on Mr..
Thomson for an explanation. 1t was
soon given. The merchant had been I'M
able to decipher the minister's hierogly-
mics. and had put the note in his desk
until Mr.. Chalmers should call. Not
